yo I just wanted to bring this up since there’s a KH thread, why not discuss what’s coming from Koxx and what u wanna see, and suggestions etc.
chat about improvements Koxx could make to their existing frames and components (i know the ISIS issue will be big), chat about all the drug-related names for their unis :p, go crazy!
New complete unis for 2008!:
RED HAIR
WHITE RUSSIAN
and of course the new pink, brown, and sand flatland unis!
NEW SADDLES FOR 2008!
personally I want to see these improvements for 08:
-switch to real ISIS
-machined bearing holders for devil frames
-restrengthened domina and signature frames
-more choice of colour on seatclamps haha
-laced seat covers
hah, those are the changes id want to see, aswell as most other people would want.
But seriously those frames need help. The bearing holders are “iffy”. If you compare the devil frame side by side with a KH frame. It really is…well…uncomparable. haha Just the overall quality on the koxx frames can improve. I looked at the welds on my blueberry frame and they aren’t even that great. Just quality improvement is my main arguement.
And I know im not the only one who has a new koxx that came with a frame the wiggles horizontally back and forth because you have to either add an extra spacer in there, or smash ur cranks on harder.
ISIS…yea, that’d also be nice if they could actually get it right.
Removable seat covers would be a nice lil upgrade.
I like how they have alot of colors and seat designs though! that’s kewl. Koxx unis still look the best, anyway!
so i guess its just the little things that id just like to see done right. IDK what else to say. Their stuff is still good…but would be better if they fixed the stuff that pisses you off because it shouldn’t even be a problem…that kinda stuff. if that made any sense.
I agree that there is a problem with the ‘‘frame wiggle’’ too, which is very annoying. Also I’ll just say, (and it’s probably been said before) so far their new unis appear to be differently designed/coloured unicycles, with the same parts!
Yeh I get used to that, though I’ve noticed there are a few other long hair owners on these forums (not quite as long as mine I don’t think though). You just wait til I can grow a beard… I’ll be a right hippy, and then I suppose people will just think i’m a weird girl with a beard
rumour has it theres a mk3 xtp! whos had the luxury of riding one and for those trials purists (ie not gliding), can u criticise this frame at all for purely trials?
I kinda like the beefyness/ugliness to the bearing holders. Makes it look tougher. But I think they may be alil too big still. because you cant even fit one of those frames on a KH wheel properly. The Bearing holders hit the spokes on the kh’s. But maybe that’s why they’re Called KOXX XTP Frames FOR KOXX UNICYCLES…idk…hehe
IMO the XTP is way too expensive (even a Triton is less $). I don’t see how it’s worth more than a KH, which is more versatile to boot.
Changing paint schemes is way easier than coming up w/ new or improving existing products, to boost sales for the new year.
But they do look pretty cool
didyou know that XTPs have cracked? most of the first version production ones cracked at the neck, but haven’t yet snapped (so it’s stronger than KH at least)…
but people have already cracked the second version production XTPs on around the gussets that were welded onto the seattube-crown join.
also the triton is way way lighter than the xtp and has a higher build quality, a friend of mine has the xtp and you can see the quality isnt amazing as the legs aernt 100% aligned if u look down from a birds eye view. i also seen this lack of quality in several xtps and dominas when i went to visit friends in france. also what is better… titanium or aluminium hahaaa… and ti can be rewelded forever accordin to sponge and dmitry without any after-weld defects or needing heattreatment wheeras aluminium is never the same after reweldng or heattreating so its disposable.
its like saying the triton is the best camera in the world that the best photographers are looking for that comes with a lifetime guarantee. whilsthe xtp is like the BEST disposable camera in the world if u get me… both are amazing but one is built to last and the other is temporary
theres a version 3 xtp coming out apparently to furtrher try to fix da bugs with the other 2 versions.
i think the domina needs reinforcing too… but how so? without modding it too much?
